Health Issues

SWARD is very concerned that little attention is being paid to the potential health impacts of so much waste treatment and disposal close to residences.  Within the data of numerous research papers there are indications of negative health impacts associated with living close to  landfill. SWARD belive that it is unacceptable to dimiss these findings becue a causal link has not been proven.
